Vienna is the capital of Austria and a tourist destination that cannot be ignored. The city is located on the banks of the Danube, specifically in the Valley of the Forests of Vienna. Historically the city has a great recognition on a worldwide basis since is one of the oldest capitals of Europe.

The city of Vienna was considered by the UNESCO as world heritage due to the urban and architectural qualities that are observed in it. Also one must keep in mind that the architecture of this city represents in a precise way the three key periods of the cultural and political development of Europe: The Middle Ages, the Baroque period and the Gründerzeit or era of the industrialization.

Among the tourist attractions diverse museums are found, palaces, parks and churches that offer large cultural experiences that would not be forgotten, among which we have:

Palace Belvedere and Upper Belvedere: It was built by Johann Lukas as a summer for prince Eugenio of Savoy. The structure of Belvedere is composed of two palaces communicated by a great French style garden, which possesses three levels. The Upper Belvedere is situated in the highest point of the garden and is the one that architecturally represents the glory and splendor of Prince Eugenio.

Vienna is a green city therefore possesses impressive parks that enrich the image of the city.

Currently it is a crossed by avenue Hauptalle, considered as the road that could only be traveled through by the nobility and their servants. At present it is a unique experience to walk through it, is found flanked by chestnut by way of tunnels, a really incredible landscape for those who decide to visit.
